... or maybe not. When I looked just now I realized the chain (which I tightened the other day), now has too long a "tail", and it had hooked itself under the flapper so the water was slowly seeping...

Sigh... well now I have another problem. The water starts and stops constantly---runs a couple seconds, then stops.

Help??

Mark, that was it!

The flapper was set on "MIN" so I moved the dial to "MAX". Now the tank doesn't completely empty, but the water level goes down to a line on the inside of the tank where it...

The flapper just doesn't seem to stay up long enough--drops right back down before the tank finishes emptying. Can hold the handle down--but...

THANKS everyone--Talaniman's suggestion worked!

It works fine! Washes, spins, drains, etc.

But the agitator has developed a problem and I...

My mom spent 2K on a Kirby Sentria vacuum a few years ago. (sigh... )

We haven't used it in a while--it had a broken belt.

I just finally figured out how to put a new belt on (thanks...

Hi folks,

I'm looking for ideas. In spite of my 4 cats, I've had mice in my closet. I'm in the process of laundering all of my clothes.

Some of my clothes have been stored in these hanging...

Thanks guys!

(Of course it started filling while I was asleep TWICE before I replaced the valve... I'm...
